Filles et mathématiques : lutter contre les stéréotypes, ouvrir le champ des possibles/ Girls and mathematics: fighting stereotypes, opening up the field of possibilities

Le rapport établit la manière dont, en France, la part des filles dans les études scientifiques décroit  à mesure de leur avancée dans la scolarité. Elle pointe l’effet majeur des stéréotypes de genre qui engendrent manque de confiance en soi et sentiment de ne pas être à sa place. 

Emmy Noether, from algebra to physics

Continuing the tradition of celebrating the 'May12 Celebration of Women in Mathematics" with a talk on the life and work of a women mathematician, after Maryam Mirzakhani (2014 Fields Medalist) in May 2022, Marina Ratner (in May 2023) and Maryna Viazowska (2022 Fields Medalist)  in May 2024, we are please to announce this year a talk on the life and work of Emmy Nother, accessible to Bachelor and Master students in Math (and not only).

Roda de conversa - Mulheres na Matemática: Quais os Desafios Atuais?/Chatting Circle - Women in Mathematics: What Are the Current Challenges?

A roda de conversa propõe uma reflexão sobre os desafios enfrentados atualmente por mulheres na matemática, abordando questões de participação, reconhecimento e equidade, além de incentivar o diálogo sobre caminhos para a transformação desse cenário.

The conversation circle proposes a reflection on the challenges currently faced by women in mathematics, addressing issues of participation, recognition, and equity, while also encouraging dialogue on ways to transform this reality.

May 12 - Permission to stand out

A talk by Jillian Reilly, "Permission to stand out" will be livestreamed from the Neelsie Cinema at Stellenbosch University to WITS (including UJ and UP), Sol Plaatje, UKZN and Rhodes Universities in South Africa. 

Jillian Reilly is an author and speaker. After the talk, there will be the opportunity for participants to mingle over some light snacks at the physical events.

Dynamic Women - Celebrating Women in Math and MinutMina

The event Dynamic Women - Celebrating Women in Math is a group that promotes activities to make visible and support women in mathematics. Among this year's activities, we will have lectures, discussions, a research presentation dispute and a larger event, Celebrating Women in Mathematics. The latter will take place in July 2025. 

The MinutMina is a Tournament where female students make a research presentation in 3 Minutes. The best one win. The word "Mina" is a Brazilian Portuguese slang term that means girl.

Celebrating women in math @UniCA

On the occasion of the International Day of Women in Mathematics, the "Corso di Studi in Matematica" of the University of Cagliari, in collaboration with "PLS-Matematica", proposes an afternoon for May 12, 2025 entirely dedicated to female mathematicians. The event is mainly addressed at students and colleagues of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science but is obviously open to anyone interested. The programme includes a seminar by Prof.
